edit: oh my god

Compare this with some Portal Racers textures: Pretty sure LEGO has an internal library of minifigure facial expressions and just tells artists/animators to mimic them or something like that. For this style of animation specifically it seems they just have a bunch of face elements like that and squash/stretch them around and flick between different ones.

A new music! This time it's Dubstep. Still, I didn't make that kind of EDM that sounds all the same. This tune's got some interesting sounds, including an Erhu, a Hawaiian guitar and a voice used as an instrument. So, enjoy! I didn't post this right away because I couldn't get on RRU for some reason. But finally I got the problem fixed (thanks Xiron and Ayliffe!).

I told prof to post this here but he didn't so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ http://fuelnewmedia.com/portfolio/lego-ninjago-virtual-reality-produktpraesentation/ Behind the scenes video and stuff. Here's the description run through google translate: (And for those unfamiliar with it, that's the Unity editor they're using in some shots, so now we know what it runs on)

EDIT: HEY LEGO MESSAGE BOARD MODERATION TEAM, ELIMBIER IS ONE OF MINE. IT'S NOT PLAGIARISM, OKAY? A few years ago, I tasked myself with a writing exercise to expand on the LEGO Universe origin story, told in a dramatic and engaging narrative. It was exceedingly dark with embellished descriptions and edgy dialog. Up to now it hasn’t been published… I’d personally like to keep it that way. Excessive purple prose, said bookisms, and unrealistic diction are just a few of its infractions against the literary hobby. Thus, I buried it and eventually exhumed it a year or so later, incinerated the corpse, and built something completely different atop its remains. Hopefully this one is comically serviceable. I’m also planning to post this incrementally on the Elimbies, just to see what extent of scatological subterfuge the moderators will tolerate. I may share my results in a blog afterward. Feedback is appreciated, provided that it only reinforces my narcissistic outlook. Criticism, constructive or otherwise, will be overlooked in favor of glowing reviews by the mindless masses. New chapters will be published every Friday, and the accompanying vignettes will be posted in a separate topic in the LEGO Creations forum.

Hollis just linked me to this: http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/2u71gh/lego_showing_ninjago_demo_with_dk2_at_the/ ... Huh.

I wanted to include more but ran out of space in my paint.net canvas and it felt like a good place to stop for one post. Some other things: Adventurers media did stuff like that a lot though, so if we listed every example we'd be here all day. TT and the curious case of the lowered pants:

So who it is warrants who and who doesn't get backlash for reviving? Sir, I don't think that's how things work around here. More VR demo-y things, weee! As cool as VR is, I think I'll consider waiting a few more years before I consider getting a VR, and not just because price.

Chapter 5 is up and I couldn't book the photographer.

Most of these things were clues to Galidor and we are at fault for not exposing LEGO in time. You all better start paying attention before they release another cancerous humanoid theme. That LU Commercial reminded me of this: EDIT: You forgot to include these

My head hurts just thinking about this...

How could you forget this classic?! also, that mixels one is amazing. the ribcage and hips are just leg bones stacked on top of each other horizontally and for bonus 'somewhat related' round,

minifigs are just exo-skeletons for tiny people confirmed confirmed

Grammer: 0.6/10

haha. oh yeah, that too. can't forget that off color puke yellow as my website background

i dunno if this helps but you might wanna close ur eyes found another one what is the website's url?

Interesting. Exo-Force could have made a neat basis for a video game, too - shame we never got something like that.

Actually, that's a skeleton. If you don't see it, look at the skeletons in Matching Mummies in the PS1 version for comparison. More evidence Boney Hawks was intended to have some sort of actual role in the skate park!

His cap brim disappears whenever he's indoors for some reason Yes. The GUI looks totally different though: Also, you can't listen to music on it in this version.

Aaron's voice in this is pure pain.

Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this VR thingy nearer the toy fair itself, mainly because it provided us with one of the finest images from the event: Other than that, it's pretty interesting to see TLG get back into the VR game after that Project Darwin stuff back in the 90's. I wonder if we'll see more of this in the future from TLG?

BULL. F***ING. S***. THE CHARACTER HOLDING A GAMEPAD IS NOT "WOVEN TIGHTLY INTO THE STORY". IT'S A F***ING REFERENCE THAT NO-ONE WOULD MIND ON THE OTHER PLATFORMS. THIS GAME WOULD WORK BETTER ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE WII F***ING U. STUPID. F***ING. C***S.

I wish we could forget about these

This entire topic, in a nutshell.

The less they do for PC, the more I start to hate their business plan.

BAD TOOL RAIDER. BAD. THAT'S A TERRIBLE THOUGHT. The Wii U is garbageware. Get an Xbox, a PS3 or a PC with Steam. You'll thank me for years and years to come.
